I know we've found some of these "elite controllers" in the form of children; families who adopted kids in the late 80s and early 90s. The drugs were so hard on kids that many would get sick immediately. So you you give the kids drugs so they can live until 15 or don't and they live to be 8 (but happier for a bit).

Some parents chose to take their kids off the drugs..and some of those kids are in their late 20s today! But many of them aren't.

My question: how do you find these cases in adults? You can't ethically give someone a placebo for 5 years! Are these people who the point of infection can be narrowed down to an instance and who discover they have HIV 6+ years after the fact?

I assumed there must have been some spin with it mentioned Harper in a positive light. I know a Canadian who had nothing good to say about him (she now lives in New Zealand)

Well the other three were co-authored. Yea, that first book was amazing. There was a video game too. It wasn't so great. :(

Quality of Service is built into IPv6. The ISP shouldn't have anything to do with QoS. That is solely the discretion of the service or client. If I want, I can configure my servers so that SMTP traffic has a very low QoS for IPv6 based networks. Network Neutrality ensures that ISPs don't alter that QoS along the way.

We're a long way off from IPv6, and we shouldn't be. But that's another issue. ISPs shouldn't handle the throttling. They should give equal priority to everything.

I always hated car talk. They oversimplified a lot of stuff and there are so many things they've gotten wrong! Plus they're annoying as fuck.

Who gives a shit. Good riddance

I will have to disagree with you on this. You cannot do this with the traditional init process. The only way to grab all that log information and metadata is if you control process 1/init. With the traditional shell script approach, you can't tag all that data and pump it all into logging.

Full process management does provide a lot of really nice features. But they could have implemented all those features with a simpler init process and not integrate it with dbus and everything under the sun, and have better commands than the awful syntax in systemctl and journalctl.

A few months back I was talking to a friend, "Do normal people wipe their phones an install CyanogenMod before booting them up for the first time?"

Her: "No, normal people don't do that."

ah...so now we get into that very interesting ground. What is it like to live in a world where your own thoughts, no-not thoughts- desires are illegal. There was a time (and still is in many parts of this world) where it was/is illegal to be homosexual.

People in that world are living with illegal thoughts, even if they never act on them. This applied to Paedophile too, but we've learned to be okay with the former because it's between two adults that (in theory) have some ability to make their own choices where children often do not.

Very true. We have 1Ghz processors today than can outperform yesterdays 1.8Ghz processors.

This isn't Reddit. If you want good posts, go to where anyone can post shit.

I really hate that Sony dropped their cell processors going from the PS3 to the PS4 in favour of an x86 based system. We didn't see a lot of devices using cell and because of that, a lot of cell super-computer clusters were even made using actual PS3s. Even the prior MIPS processers of the earlier PlayStations are used in computer architecture texts books to this day (albeit overly-simplified versions of MIPS's pipling systems).

I really want to see more architecture options, not less. Intel bought Alpha, killed it, screwed up with their own VLIW attempt with the Itaniums (which use EPIC) and I haven't heard anything about Transmeta in years. Today everything is ARM or x86_64 (with MIPS still seen in some embedded systems, mostly home routers). IBM still produces new POWER systems, but they're limited to a specific server niches.

I wish more people were bothered by the fact that they are doing experiments at all on captive Orcas and Dolphins.

Most captive Orcas aren't in facilities because they've been injured (unlike zoos and aquariums which work on rehabilitation and reintroduction). Orcas are often ripped away from their pods. Many of them get violent and kill trainers (and rightfully so). You can't put something that travels the ocean in a fish tank. Orcas only live to be about 25 in captivity where in the while, they live to be 50 ~ 60.

The documentary Black Fish talks a lot about the problems with captive Orcas. You should never go to Seaworld or other sea parks. Don't give them any money. They are shit shops that destroy these beautiful animals.

They're porpoises and they are also very closely related. Orcas are closer to dolphins than they are other most other whale species.

Possibly, or it may be that Google and Apple are trying to mitigate the blow-back. I remember reading a lot of the Yahoo stuff that got declassified showed that they tried hard to oppose the directive they were given; not that it mattered because we found out later that the NSA tapped their fibre backbones anyway.

I have a feeling that Google/Apple want to go down this route because it will mean that they technologically can't comply with certain NSA letters. Of course, government agencies may already have the means to bypass this. We'll find out eventually.

Exactly. The ticking time bomb is pretty much a logical fallacy.
